- Objectives. To develop a national, tract-level measure of neighborhood housing quality and test its validity by examining associations with population health metrics. Methods. Using microdata from the 2021 American Housing Survey postfit to the 2018-2022 American Community Survey, we developed the Housing Quality Metric (HQM), which predicts the likelihood that a US census tract contains […]
- CONCLUSIONS: Our results show an association between HL and a higher number of ADL and IADL difficulties. Adults with HL may require increased support to address difficulties with daily activities and prevent experiencing related consequences.
- Housing is relevant to quality-of-life for older adults with and without disabilities, particularly those with limited financial resources. Among 4,898 low- and moderate-income community-living National Health and Aging Trends Study respondents, we describe and examine differences in housing characteristics of older adults with (n = 2774) and without disability (n = 2124). Next, among those […]
- CONCLUSION: Effective child obesity treatment can be implemented in local communities through a partnership between clinical practices and parks and recreation providers. Future research will explore this model in combination with newer, more effective obesity treatments.
- CONCLUSIONS: Our study provides the most comprehensive description of the behaviour change content of complex interventions targeting early childhood obesity prevention available to date. Our analysis revealed that interventions targeted multiple behaviour domains, with significant variation in delivery features. Despite the diverse range of BCTs coded, five BCTs were consistently identified across domains, though certain […]
- BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Social isolation is an increasing public health concern. Older residents in subsidized housing may be susceptible to isolation given high rates of chronic illness/disabilities, low income, and living alone. This cross-sectional study examined correlates of social isolation among over 3,000 older adults from nearly 100 subsidized housing communities across the US.
- CONCLUSIONS: Messaging about screening cessation can significantly increase older women's support for screening cessation, with low rates of negative reactions, even if there are competing messages on continued screening.
- CONCLUSION: Findings provide an in-depth understanding of how race, ethnicity, and cultural positive adaptive factors influence resilience among diverse ADRD partner caregivers. [Research in Gerontological Nursing, 18(1), 21-28.].
- CONCLUSION: This report highlights the range of material goods provided in pediatric continuity clinics and the variability in their availability, funding sources, and screening processes and can serve as the basis for future research to evaluate the impact of material goods provision.
- Pediatric home health care represents a vital system of care for children with disability and medical complexity, encompassing services provided by family caregivers and nonfamily home health care providers and the use of durable medical equipment and supplies. Home health care is medically necessary for the physiologic health of children with disability and medical complexity […]
- CONCLUSIONS: Persistent exposure to neighborhood physical disorder is associated with higher levels of metabolic and inflammatory biomarkers, underscoring the need for targeted clinical screening and neighborhood initiatives to promote healthy aging in place.
- OBJECTIVE: To qualitatively explore Medicaid-enrolled parents' and young adult patients' perspectives and experiences with telemedicine in pediatric primary care.
- This study aimed to describe the home-built environment of children with medical complexity (CMC) using novel photovoice methodology. Parents/guardians of CMC uploaded and discussed photographs of their home environment through semi-structured interviews. Conventional content analysis was applied to interview transcripts embedded with corresponding photographs. All participants modified their home environment to optimize the health, function, […]

- Healthcare delivery and access, both in the United States and globally, were negatively affected during the entirety of the COVID-19 pandemic. This was particularly true during the first year when countries grappled with high rates of illness and implemented non-pharmaceutical interventions such as stay-at-home orders. Among children with special healthcare needs, research from the United […]
